All Is a Lie: My Last Google Search

We’ve all got strange search histories, don’t we? Some people type in things like “banana bread recipe” or “nearest petrol station.” Sensible, practical, boring. Me? Not a chance. My search history reads more like a conspiracy theorist’s shopping list crossed with a midnight philosopher’s notebook.

So, when I peeked at it recently, the last thing staring back at me was:
“ALL is a lie – Under the Dome MOVIE.”

Not exactly normal. But perfectly me.

It started with a thought: What if we really are living under some kind of dome? Laugh if you like, but wouldn’t it explain a lot? Why do governments keep us distracted like circus clowns, feeding us soundbites while the real show happens behind the curtain? Why the sky looks suspiciously staged at times, like someone flicked the “cloud machine or the tap” on high. Why rules bend and break depending on who’s holding the microphone.

And then, of course, there’s Stephen King. His Under the Dome has haunted me ever since I read it. A small town trapped, tearing itself apart while a bigger mystery looms above them all. Fiction, yes, but doesn’t life already feel a bit like that? We’re told what to think, what to buy, what to fear… all while bumping into invisible walls we can’t see but definitely feel.

So my late-night search wasn’t just about a film. It was about reassurance. I wanted to know if other people had the same thought: that maybe “all is a lie” isn’t pure paranoia, but a breadcrumb trail worth following. Because deep down, most of us feel it sometimes, that sense that the official version of reality has gaps, like a story polished up for visitors but missing the real juicy bits.

So yes, while the world looks up how to boil an egg, I’m Googling whether or not we’re trapped in a giant cosmic snow globe.

Because when you strip it all back, maybe the strangest search of all isn’t “Under the Dome.” It’s the constant, nagging search for truth. That one never leaves the history.

Still… if you’re reading this right now, maybe you’re under the dome with me. Don’t tap the glass too hard, though; they might be listening.

  1. Well, my last Google search was this morning, Mae, … looking for how a Dimond looked before it was cut, like a lump of rock, … but I can climb aboard your under the dome idea, … have you noticed with weather forecast now? They say the rain is going to stop in 15 minutes?… or it’s going to start in 37 minutes?…. I’m sure someone’s in control of a water tap., … under a dome, maybe, … who knows, … and of course they’re listening, …shhh!! …💙

    2. Ohhh I love that one Penny, a raw diamond just sitting there looking like a lump of nothing, hiding all that brilliance. Bit like people, really. As for the weather taps… don’t get me started! I’ve noticed that too, “rain in exactly 37 minutes” … like who’s up there with a stopwatch and a hosepipe?

  2. Mae, because we can only access 13% of our brains, and no scientist or clinician can explain where consciousness comes from, a “snow globe” is not as paradoxical a concept as one might think. Besides, existential questions are fun to muse over.

    1. If the brightest minds can’t pin down what consciousness even is, then who’s to say a snow globe reality is far-fetched? 🤔 Sometimes I think the mystery is the whole point, we’re not meant to solve it, just to wonder at it. Thanks Michael 🧡

    1. It is freaky Joey! But then again, so is life when you really look at it. Best not to stare too long or the whole thing starts to wobble. And the more rabbit holes I go down, the more I wonder🧡😂🧡

  4. If we knew the truth about what goes on behind the scenes (under the dome). it would be difficult to not live in fear. We know they are watching and listening we just don’t know in how many places or how many ways. Interesting post, Mae.

    1. So true, Mags, if the curtain was ever pulled back fully, I don’t think most people could handle it. Maybe that’s why we only get glimpses here and there. 👀 Still, I’d rather be awake to it than lulled asleep under the dome😂 Thanks for reading and reflecting with me xx
